Hey I was contemplating doing a full st205 or a 4th gen 3sgte swap in my st165. I used to live in seattle as well with my blue alltrac. Good looking grey one by the way. Do you like the power band and maintenance on the st205 setup? I know there are some perks on the 215 but the 205 has a bunch to offer as well. What psi are you pushing on stock? Thanks

Power band is good and maintenance is essentially the same. I chose the 205 over the 215 for the included transmission but in retrospect I would of spent more on the 215 and sourced a transmission separately.

I'm running 17.5psi.

That's what I'm thinking, the same just getting both. I cannot afford to build anything and the internals of the 205 should handle what I throw at it.

Hey bud, I seen you did the battery relocation. Did you have to drill through the floor or go an easier route? I am needed to put mine in the rear because it has been a pain being in the engine bay. I am getting closer to doing the st205 swap and following your footsteps. You do not know it but with all the pictures and what not you have helped me a lot. Thanks

The cables are routed through the driver side wheel well and into the cabin via the existing wiring harness grommet. Then it is just fed under the carpet to the rear passenger where I did have to drill holes just above the exhaust heat shield.

Happy to help

I am assuming you have rubber grommets or something so nothing rusts? Great build by the way, I am jealous I have not put this much effort into my Alltrac
